Foire aux Greniers de Châtillon-en-Diois

The Foire aux Greniers de Châtillon-en-Diois: the summer event in the Diois region

Every last Sunday of July, the Foire aux Greniers takes over Châtillon-en-Diois, transforming its medieval streets into a vast second-hand market. With its approximately 115 exhibitors, this summer event is one of the largest rural flea markets in the Drôme department. It attracts bargain hunters and strollers from all over Diois and neighboring valleys for a day of treasure hunting in an exceptional setting.

The medieval heart of Châtillon-en-Diois as a backdrop

Châtillon-en-Diois, the capital of Diois at 570 meters above sea level, is one of the best-preserved villages in southern Drôme. Its cobbled streets, fountains, stone houses with lauze roofs, and the remains of its medieval ramparts form a striking setting for a flea market. The stalls are set up in the main square and spill into the alleys of the old town, creating a treasure hunt route that invites exploration of the village's nooks and crannies.

115 exhibitors for a summer day of treasure hunting

Each year, the Foire aux Greniers brings together about a hundred exhibitors, mainly individuals from the region who are clearing out their attics, cellars, and barns. You can find a wide variety of items: country furniture, antique tableware, agricultural tools, books, toys, clothing, trinkets, and various curiosities. But also, regularly, real treasures: regional earthenware, objects from pastoral life, or testimonies of the artisanal past of the Diois region. The proximity to Vercors, Dévoluy, and Baronnies guarantees a particular richness in the objects that pass through this market.
